Staging in Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumours: Roles and Shortcomings

#1556

Introduction: Small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (SB NETs) frequently present with lymph node and/or distant metastases

Aim(s): To review the role of staging in 84 surgically treated SB NET patients, comparing yields of various imaging modalities. We also compared pre-operative imaging with intra-operative findings in 20 patients undergoing surgery as the initial treatment.

Materials and methods: Retrospective review of our database of patients treated at 3 tertiary referral centres. Disease staging incorporated morphological (CT, MRI) and functional (68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT) modalities, and was tailored to each patient.
